Read The Tewkesbury Tomb Online
Authors: Kerry Tombs
The Templar’s ‘treasure’ was reinterned inside the ancient tomb, which can be seen today in the village church of Meysey Hampton.
Robert Ross was buried next to his brother in a small village churchyard in Gloucestershire.
Many people still visit Tewkesbury Abbey today to view the ancient monuments – and some have even attempted – in vain – to understand the meaning of the strange letters on the outside of the tomb of Sir Roger de la Pole, the Templar Knight.
